Stat Diagnostic’s Heliprobe

Heliprobe TM is a "Urea breath test"

Since Barry Marshall described the Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and its role in different gastrointestinal diseases, an intense research effort has developed different diagnostic methods. The only nonivasive test method that can be clinically used as a diagnostic tool for on-going infection with H.pylori and post-eradication follow-up is the "urea breath test". Different serological tests are available, but they cannot determine the actual status of the infection and can therefore only be used for screening tests. With the Radprobe TM, a cost-effective test is available, easy to use in the doctor's office.

How does Heliprobe TM work?

The Urea Breath Test method (UBT) is based on the fact that the bacteria H. pylori produces an enzyme, urease, which catalyses the hydrolysis of the urea molecule into ammonium and carbon dioxide.H. plyori requires the alkaline ammonium in order to establish an optimal local mucosal environment within the acidic environment of the stomach. The urea compound is an endogenous substance that contains one carbon atom, normally C, which can be replaced by its isotope C or C. Heliprobe TM uses the isotope C which has very low B-radioactive emission. The radioactive dose used for a Heliprobe TM test is 1 uCurie, which is significantly less than the radioactive dose given at a normal X-ray examination of the stomach, and equal to a few glasses of orange juice.

A Helicap is ingested with 50 ml of water. If an infection with H. pylori is present in the stomach, the "living" bacteria produces the enzyme "urease" that metabolises the C-urea into ammonium and carbon dioxide containing the C-labelled atoms. The carbon dioxide will be assimilated through the mucosa into the blood stream and transported to the lungs where it is exhaled. By collecting the exhaled carbon dioxide in the BreathCardTM, the amount of Co2 produced in the stomach can be measured with the Heliprobe TM instrument. If the patient is not infected, no metabolisation of urea will occur and therefore no CO2 can be detected with the Heliprobe TM system. In this case the unmetabolised C urea will pass along the digestive canal to be excreted in the urine. If the Heliprobe TM system detects Co2 this is diagnostic evidence of an ongoing infection with living H.pylori. Heliprobe TM is developed for primary diagnosis of H. pylori, as well as for follow-up after eradication treatment.

Laboratory and Clinical Evaluation

To ensure equivalent results comparable with sophisticated, well-established laboratory techniques used for scientific purposes, the following comparison between Heliprobe TM and liquid scintillation for C detection was made. A laboratory set-up (simulating the patient) with controlled parameters was established. The result of the comparison was statistically analysed applying linear regression. The outcome of the analysis shows a regression line with high correlation between these methods. Clinical Validation studies involving more than 400 patients has also been performed at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.

Transasia’s XE-2100i

Urine analysis now goes a step further with Uro-dip! Users of urine analysers and strips will appreciate this - all along, urine analysis done with urine reagent strips and urine analysers had to be often re-confirmed with wet chemistry tests such as Fouchet's for Bilirubin, Benedict for Glucose and SSA or Acetoacetic acid for protein. This is because in most of the cases, the colour of the urine (due to medication, excess blood, etc) caused false positive reactions on the strips, which was duly reported by the analysers. Erba's Uro-dipcheck range of analysers and strips are uniquely designed to overcome this problem. The reagent strips are equipped with special calibration pads that absorb the colour of urine and the colour development on the other pads is corrected for this colour - in other words, the system ensures that the colour change of pads is due to the urinary analytes and not due to the colouration of urine. This and other features such as dual-mode operation, high through put ranging from 240 to 500 tests per hour, 1,000 record system memory, RS 232 serial port connectivity, bi-level liquid stable controls make this range the most complete urine analysis range available.

Products available in the range :
Urine analysers - Uro-dipcheck 240 and Uro-dipcheck 500
Urine strips - Uro-dip 2 VPG (Protein + Glucose), Uro-dip 2 VGK (Glucose + Ketone), Uro-dip 10 A (10-parameter analysis), Uro-dip 11 G (11-parameter analysis with ascorbic acid), Urine Controls - Ud Trol controls (Level 1 and Level 2)
